Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Rock Soup and how the marketplace works.
Rock Soup is a talent marketplace connecting companies with skilled creative professionals. Companies post project briefs, our matching algorithm finds the right talent, and built-in contracts make collaboration seamless.
Every project on Rock Soup starts with a clear contract that documents roles, deliverables, and compensation. All terms are agreed before work begins, so everyone knows exactly where they stand.
Rock Soup charges a small platform fee on briefs. Payments between companies and talent flow directly according to the agreed contract terms.
Anyone with creative or professional skills can join as talent — filmmakers, musicians, designers, developers, writers, strategists, and more. Companies of any size can post briefs to find the right people for their projects.
Our built-in contract builder helps define roles, deliverables, timelines, and compensation. Both parties review and sign before work begins. Contracts are stored on the platform and can be downloaded as PDFs.
Contracts include dispute resolution terms. Rock Soup can facilitate mediation, but we are not a legal authority. For serious disputes, parties should seek independent legal advice.
Our matching algorithm scores compatibility between talent and briefs based on skill overlap, availability, project preferences, and experience level. Both companies and talent receive curated match recommendations.
Sign up as a company, describe your project needs including required skills, timeline, and budget, and publish your brief. Our algorithm will surface matching talent, and you can review profiles and portfolios before reaching out.
Yes. Creating a profile, browsing briefs, and getting matched is completely free for talent. You only focus on doing great work — Rock Soup handles the rest.
